MPG and Fuel Efficiency Advice
Thanks to its excellent value for money, the SsangYong Korando is a very useful, practical family SUV that provides the Korean competitor, the Kia Sportage, and the Nissan Qashqai something to consider. After SsangYong's rebranding, it has been in production for some time and is still available as the KGM Korando. For our complete review of SsangYong Korando, continue reading.
Even while the Korando isn't as big of an SUV as it once was, it still drinks like one. While 4x4 vehicles only get a dismal 43.5 mpg, two-wheel drive ones manage a decent 48.7 mpg.
SsangYong Korando Fuel Consumption
The economy does often suffer as a result of the Korando's subpar performance. Because of its long 0–60 mph time, the driver frequently has to put a lot of effort into the engine to keep up with traffic, which further contributes to a low fuel economy rating.
In contrast, a Skoda Karoq 4x4 with a seven-speed DSG automatic and a more potent 2.0-litre diesel engine with 150 horsepower gets more than 50 mpg. It is priced similarly to the top-spec Korando.
High emissions of CO2 as well
Here, the Korando lags behind its rivals once further. The 2WD diesel's emissions are 144g/km, which is the same as the 4WD Karoq's. In contrast, the 4WD Korando generates a dismal 170g/km.
SsangYong Korando Fuel Consumption
First electrified SsangYong might be the Korando The Korando might be the first SsangYong to offer a hybrid or completely electric drivetrain, even though there isn't one at launch. The e-SIV, an all-electric model, served as the model's original style concept. According to SsangYong, the company is developing these powertrains for potential manufacturing. However, no timeline has been provided as of yet.
The SsangYong Korando's 1.6-litre turbodiesel engine is said to achieve up to 46.3 mpg on the WLTP cycle.
It appears respectable enough, but when equipped with diesel engines, it falls short of major competitors in this market, such the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage.
The official fuel economy ratings for the gasoline-powered SsangYong Korando are 37.2 mpg for the manual and 35.8 mpg for the auto; however, in typical driving circumstances, expect to get 5 mpg less.
As of this writing, all models pay road tax at the normal annual rate of £190.
SsangYong is confident in this car's dependability, which is supported by its lengthy warranty offer, which at one point extended to seven years and 150,000 miles. This implies that regular maintenance should be your only concern.
Additionally, a franchised dealer—now known as KGM—won't be overly expensive. Additionally, the SsangYong Korando is among the most reasonably priced vehicles in its class to obtain insurance for, with rates falling between 21 and 26.
The SsangYong Korando's fuel consumption is displayed below in both kilometres per litre (km/L) and miles per gallon (MPG). The range of that specific SsangYong Korando model is indicated by both of these statistics for each gallon (4.55 litres) and each litre (1000 millilitres) of fuel. The car will be more cost-effective to operate and more economical if its MPG or km/L is higher. We also tell you the fuel consumption you can anticipate from a SsangYong Korando on the open highway or motorway, as well as in urban and city driving circumstances, in addition to the combined data.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your SsangYong Korando is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
